I wouldn't play this game for all the tea in China. I've read up on it and, true it gets young people outside, but some of the time, they impose on people minding their business, and other times, they have caused fights, gotten ripped off by a criminal, and caused death to those so entranced, they don't know where they are going, and have fallen off high places.
They stream into the picturesque colonial town by the hundreds, day and night. Groups of teenagers. Mother-and-son duos. Couples on dates. A middle-aged government worker just stopping by on her commute home along Interstate 95.

You and me both, Keith. Not to mention that the company 'accidentally' programmed it to allow an unprecedented level of access to your personal info. So egregiously, Google stepped in and rescinded those permissions for anyone that gave them. I wouldn't touch this game with a ten foot pole.

I've never cared for any computer or cell phone games Greg. They are a waste of time. I played games when I was young. That was enough for me. I didn't know about the personal info. That's a definite no go for me.

As a fan of the game and being in the generation of gamers, I can say there are more good things about it than bad. The whole access to emails was blown out of proportion. And the number of incidents reported compared to how many people play it is a drop in a 55 gallon drum. I think there is a just a generation gap and a whole lot of misunderstanding in general. Alcohol causes wrecks...still made. Guns can kill people...still bought. People always abuse things that can be good. I think this game is one is hardly worth putting effort in to despise. I mean it's like playing a Nintendo DS or game boy which has been out for years. Now it's just on a different device. Nothing new, just innovation.
